Checkout my buddy Dane Sanders! I'm so proud of this guy! I've never seen anyone develop their business and grow their image faster than him and I attribute his RAPID success to his ability to change! Honestly! I don't know how he does it but it's incredible! Everytime something needs to be switched around - BANG - it happens and he's off like lightning again! Big time D! You da man!

10,000 Posts!!!

Tonight was a monumental night for the OSP community as we logged our 10,000th post! INCREDIBLE!



WOW! For the first time ever I'll be sending out a mass email to all of you (who have email notification turned on) and I'll try and send out an email every month with info about Showit and other cool stuff that I think you'd want to know about.



Another very exciting thing is that tomorrow morning a small group of beta testers will be receiving their versions of Showit! Yea! Forest and I have been cranking and doing as much testing as possible and I'm certain this program will be a huge help for people creating quick slideshows. We're going to try and get feedback from them quickly so we can make adjustments and get it ready for release to everyone! It will be available through davidjay.com

Again, much love to all of you and thanks for making this such a stellar place - I'm looking forward to meeting a bunch of you soon!

Cheers,
DJ

Thank You OpenSourcePhoto!!!


A couple of days ago we received this awesome sign from a mystery OSPer and it's the funniest thing ever! I can already guess what my brother is gonna say and it's not something I can post! 8-) haha! He's the bad son and I'm the good son ;-)

You rock - thank you!

Also, OSP is almost at 10,000 posts!!! Can you believe it! As soon as the server switch takes place that number will be set back a a little bit and a few recent posts will be lost :( ... but please post them back and we'll have an online forum Hooraay to celebrate the 10,000 milestone!

Sweet!

Epson Workshop


Last weeks workshop went really well and I was stoked when Brooks invited me back this week to do a quick wedding PJ chat/shoot with a group from Japan who didn't speak any english and was badly jet lagged, but good sports and we had a fun time shooting together!

...and I've gotta admit that I don't mind hanging around these pretty models all day ... read more...

I love my mom!

....and I'm beginning to think I don't keep in touch enough! haha!

We've been converted! :)

Sorry Xanga...but you're too ugly. :) haha.... :laughing:

As some of you may have seen I converted the front page to a Blogger site b/c of some of Bloggers mobile functionality and it's compatibility with Mac. Xanga just wasn't cutting it and now everyone can post on the main page but it's nice to keep'em in the forum so feel free to continue your posting here. I almost always make a thread for everything I put over there.

Dane showed me a cool way to post by sending an email with my phone so check out the pic of my carrots that I just posted up...see... I'm a healthy boy!

:) Enjoy!

Awesome Group!

I had the opportunity to be a part of a workshop that was happening up at the Brooks Institute this week and it was incredible! Definitely one of the best experiences of my life and I learned so much through the process and met so many amazing photographers!

Brooks had originally wanted me to do 2 days on shooting and workflow with a little bit on marketing the second day, but the group wanted more of the business stuff so we spent almost the whole second day on that! I was stoked because that's what I like to talk about and it was so exciting to me that these photographers understand the huge importance of that! I'll post more pics on the forum.
